The pilot stated that he was cleared for landing on runway 28, encountered a strong crosswind during the landing flare, and lost directional control of the aircraft. He drifted left off the side of the runway, continued into a ditch, and nosed over. The pilot reported the wind from 040 degrees at 4 knots, and gusting at 350 degrees at 12 knots. The pilot attributes his loss of control to unfamiliarity in the aircraft.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions, and his failure to maintain directional control during landing. Contributing factors were crosswind weather conditions and a lack of familiarity with the aircraft.
